IF your seedlings are not weak ocean forest will be fine.

It's really not necessary..but it shouldn't burn it..nitrogen burn..little sugar & Ph the water and rinse through pot...I really like fox farm but I mix it on the lowest of the range given. Still think it's the best I've ever used!! Good luck brother, Use mycorrizae when ever you transplant Enjoy the grow and keep smiling!.
I had two of my seedling not take to it well. 1 just plain grew retarted,,,lol The other stunted growth for about 2 weeks. The retarded one was tossed and the other finally started to grow. My next medium will have 70-30 mix. 30% being some potting soil with very little nutes in it, if any at all.
Ok that seems to be whats happening o some of mine. One completely stopped growing one stopped produceing new nodes but the leaves keep growing.

Light Warrior is for seedlings and Ocean Forest is for transplanting and established plants. You might be able to Mickey Mouse your way through it, but its usually easier to do it right the first time by using products as their intended. Most of the strains of cannabis that I've grown can go three to four weeks in a one gallon container of light warrior

I grow all my seedlings in ffof. I cut it half chunky perlite and half ffof. usually the first set of leafs (not cotyledon) will burn a bit on the tips but after that they take off fast like six nodes in 4 weeks. Make sure you don't add nutes cause the ffof is strong enough for seedlings. Ffof will hold moisture well so dont over-water and stunt growth either. What kind of light are you using?

I've always used Ffof for seeds, seedlings, and clones, rooted or not and never ever had any problem. Should check ph of water and possibly the tds/ec of the water a's well. And when I say never I mean NEVER had a problem. I know it's my personal opinion but Ffof is absolutely perfect for all stages of growth. Never had a better experience with dirt than fox farm. Good luck
Seeds carry their own nutrients and don't require fert for a while. Start with Light Warrior and move into Ocean Forest or for a less hot soil use Happy Frog Potting Soil or equivilent. Depends on your strain. For instance, the particular strain I'm using doesn't require any extra fert for about the first five weeks. I'm generallizing but that's the gist of it.

Plain water or 2Tablespoons Big Bllom only for first 2 weeks then you can bump up and go...I go plain water til rooted I might mist with worm casting tea since local hydro shops give that for free....Hers a feeding chart http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/soilfeed.pdf
